Bill overview
The Hawaii Invasive Species Protection Act requires preclearance quarantine inspections for all travel and cargo entering or leaving Hawaii. These inspections, conducted by the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), will focus on identifying high-risk invasive species and agricultural materials. The bill also establishes a process for developing a list of items requiring inspection and mandates the collection of fees to cover the cost of these inspections, ensuring a coordinated effort to protect Hawaii’s unique ecosystem.
